< guess that makes us even, right?" Steve offered a small, rueful smile. "I suppose so." Tony rolled his eyes, turning back to his work. "Okay, don’t go getting all sentimental on me. We’ve got work to do if we’re gonna get you back to your timeline." >

< Tony glanced at him, a flicker of something unreadable crossing his face. "You hate it, don’t you?" Steve looked up, surprised. "What?" "The armor," Tony said, waving a hand. "You think it’s ridiculous, but you’re too much of a Boy Scout to say it." >

< Steve blinked at the armor, a thousand thoughts racing through his mind. It was impressive – no, it was incredible – but… gaudy. It didn’t feel like him. Not quite. He was too polite to say so, though. "Thank you," Steve said simply, nodding in appreciation. >

< wasn’t just any Iron Man suit. It was painted in the red, white, and blue motif of Captain America. Steve’s eyes widened as the suit finished assembling. It was heavily armored around the chest and torso area, but lighter and more flexible around the legs. The iconic star >

< so he said nothing. The silence stretched between them, awkward and thick. Tony was the first to break it, of course. "Look," he said, standing up and stretching his arms over his head, "I haven’t cracked the whole time-space GPS thing yet, but I’ve made some progress." >

< it's unhealthy to hold grudges," Tony interrupted with a wry smirk, though his eyes remained hard. "Besides, karma’ll probably sort out everything. Right?" He said it like a joke, but the bitterness hung heavy in the air. Steve stood there, unsure of what to say, >

< /our/ Steve… probably not assassinating my parents had you not come along." Steve flinched at that. It wasn’t like Tony to bring up something so personal in such a direct way, but he understood the bitterness. He deserved it. "I shouldn’t have–" "Therapist says >
